22 years old, Carlos Alcaraz You will dispute your Third Wimbledon Final Consecutiveand will do it somewhat different from the previous two years. The Spanish looked like an excess tennis player, for the good mainly and sometimes for the bad, capable of getting incredible points and giving pure fantasy, but also having moments in which he accumulated too many mistakes. This time he is being a more balanced tennis player, able to play the tennis game that is put ahead. In this edition of the All England Club, he knew how Take a Cañoneros duel against Taylor Fritz (6-4, 5-7, 6-3 and 7-6 (8/6)) in the semifinals.
Fritz arrived at his First semifinal at the All England Club (not in a Grand Slam, as he played that of the US Open 2024 against Tiafoe, and won it) as the tennis player with more direct services throughout the tournament. There is no better way to sow the doubt on a jacket than to break the first. The Spanish put on track all the remains except onewhether they were first serves or seconds, in addition to intention and Fritz went to the change of running track. His rival had disarmed him as soon as he started, but he also managed to confirm the blank break, achieving what could be expected to have done the American, without long exchanges: service and point. That initial advantage earned the Spanish to dominate the first partial at will, without suffering and without having to do anything extraordinary.
It was seen and not seen, All very fast, what the American could benefit in theorybut that first break was lethal. What the tennis has is that in each partial the accountant is zero, and Fritz had the mentality of forgetting what happened and starting again. The party did not have too many exchanges and was only interrupted by some setback, such as when the Spanish got something in the eye or by a heatstroke that gave an amateur in the stands, regular these two weeks in this Wimbledon unusual for the high temperatures of London. The American was the lethal jacket that was expected in this partial, and also increased the aggressiveness in the rest. It was Carlos who had more problems with his service, until in the twelfth game, everything went wrong: a couple of errors and the success that his rival was having with that extra risk he assumed. The number two in the world could not escape from 0-40.
The duel was matched. Due to the development of the party, with few balls, it seemed that there was little tension and passion, but the champion had been made dangerous. It was not noticed in appearance. Fritz went to the locker room and Alcaraz stayed on the track, chatting with his team and juggling with the racket. For the variety of his game, he is often compared to Roger Federer. In what also resembles Swiss geni. There are few times that leaves the costumes to change, or as a strategy to cut the rhythm.
The absence of Fritz was not to make his rival think because the game was face at that time. It took a while to return to track. The inertia of the meeting did not change: they did not happen too many transcendent things, it was to wait until one of the two players had a moment of inspiration or another of obfuscation. It was more the first thing that decided the third partial: Carlos responded to almost every loot in the third game, which closed with a left to attract his rival to the network and be able to pass it with a balloon. Again he soon advanced on the marker El Murciano and kept the treasure.
The match was missing a Tie-Break, and arrived on a fourth set with only one breakage, in favor of Carlos. The Spanish had lost the two tears he had played in this wimbledonone against Fognini and another against Rublev. Very close to yield also the third, at the time of more emotion of the semifinal. Fritz went from 1-4 to 6-4, two set balls for him. Against the ropes, It was time to show the best repertoire, big: After an in a hurry rest, the Murciano went to the right to give a tremendous volley cut: 6-5. With his serve, although the American responded, he had a great reaction until he caused the failure of his rival: 6-6. With a passing at the foot, the first game ball was generated and in a hard exchange, he ended up raising his arms when Taylor’s right defense after a shot to the Murcian line left long.
Alcaraz endured the guy with the serve in a clash that demanded it. He got 13 direct services, for the 19 of his opponent, although something was compensated with the double fouls (three for six). If the Spanish played first (65 percent of the time), the point was almost insured (64/73). Sacator numbers in a meeting that seemed to control, but that could be twisted, and atypical in a certain sense: Fritz achieved more winning blows (44) than Carlos (38), and made fewer undined errors (24 by 25)but lost. Alcaraz already awaits the winner of the Djokovic – SINNER, prepared for the type of game that arises.
